Re: Putting your opponent on a range of hands
What Greg said is really accurate.
I myself usually play 9 tables at once, so nearly impossible for me to pay attention to any given player on a table. The stats I have on display at each table for each player are very often my only reads.
Mind you, when I play only one table at a time, I can get a very good idea of who's playing what and how. This translates to live as well, as a matter of fact I find it easier to put ranges on opponents live, due to the fact that there's really nothing to do at the table but concentrate on the game.
It's an important skill to be able to read players and notice patterns, which is why I'd reccomend any online player spend some time grinding one table at a time. But when you're ready to get into multi-tabling, or higher stakes, you want some stats to at least help you verify your manual reads.
